Randomly Rolled: Shinobi

Shinobi, the 1987 arcade game, seems pretty good but I don't much like the way enemies act the same everytime you restart a level. I get quite bored of that pretty quickly. However, I'm not sad I spent $5 on Xbox Series S to play it again. I played it before as an unlockable in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection when you played Shinobi III. I liked that game a lot more. Well, I'm taking it off the random list. It's not something I am looking forward to trying again even though I believe it's a quality retro title. Below is a video. 

I think I prefer hack n slash games that don't have guns. I can't stand that guy who shoots at you over and over and you have to figure out how to get around him or under him or whatever. One shot and your dead. Nah, not for me. I want to brawl like in Final Fight or Streets of Rage.

The original Shinobi kind of reminds me of Rolling Thunder with ninjas.  But I think Shinobi came first, so who copied who?  Namco or SEGA?  Actually they both copied each other on a lot of things.

Everyone seems to try and copy a successful style of game and make a hit of their own. It's a business thing I don't much like unless they make something really good with it. Most of the time it's just bad knock-offs that sucker you into buying them.
